Palestine & Israel
In the West, it is known as the Six Day War. Among Arab Muslims, however, it is better known as "The Disaster" or "The Setback." Egypt, Jordan, and Syrian went to war with Israel - and lost massively. In the aftermath Israel captured large amounts of territory - land which the Torah recorded as having been granted to the Jews by God and conquered by military force, land now conquered once again by force. The events of these six days shaped the geographic, social, cultural, and political landscape of the entire Middle East down through today.
